Power Tool Safety Rules

Read and understand all instructions. Failure to follow all instructions listed

below, may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING

Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces

when performing an operation where the

cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or

its own cord. Contact with a “live” wire will

make exposed metal parts of the tool “live”

and shock the operator. If cutting into exist-

ing walls or other blind areas where electri-

cal wiring may exist is unavoidable, discon-

nect all fuses or circuit breakers feeding this

worksite.

Always make sure the work surface is

free from nails and other foreign objects.

Cutting into a nail can cause the bit and the

tool to jump and damage the bit.

Never hold the workpiece in one hand

and the tool in the other hand when in

use. Never place hands near or below

cutting surface. Clamping the material and

guiding the tool with both hands is safer.

Never place tool with bit protruding

through base on top of bench or work

surface. Lay the tool on its side or retract

the bit before setting on bench or work

surface. Protruding cutting bit may cause

tool to jump.

Always wear safety goggles and dust

mask. Use only in well ventilated area.

Using personal safety devices and working

in safe environment reduces risk of injury.

After changing the bits or making any

adjustments, make sure the collet nut and

any other adjustment devices are secure-

ly tightened. Loose adjustment device can

unexpectedly shift, causing loss of control.

Loose rotating components will be violently

thrown.

Never start the tool when the bit is

engaged in the material. The bit cutting

edge may grab the material causing loss of

control of the cutter.

Always hold the tool with two hands dur-

ing startup. The reaction torque of the

motor can cause the tool to twist.

The direction of feeding the bit into the

material is very important and it relates to

the direction of bit rotation. When view-

ing the tool from the top, the bit rotates

clockwise. Feed direction of cutting must

be counterclockwise. NOTE: Inside and

outside cuts will require different feed direc-

tion. Refer to section on feeding the router.

Feeding the tool in the wrong direction caus-

es the cutting edge of the bit to climb out of

the workpiece and pull the tool in the direc-

tion of the feed.

Always use the tool with the router base

securely attached and positioned flat

against material being cut. Having the

base securely positioned on the material

improves the stability and control of your

tool.

Never use dull or damaged bits. Sharp

bits must be handled with care. Damaged

bits can snap during use. Dull bits require

more force to push the tool, possibly caus-

ing the bit to break.

Never touch the bit during or immediately

after use. After use, the bit is too hot to be

touched by bare hands.

Never lay the tool down until the motor

has come to complete stop. The spinning

bit can grab the surface and pull the tool out

of your control.

Do not use the tool for drilling purposes.

This tool is not intended to be used with drill

bits.

Never use bits that have a cutting diame-

ter greater than the opening in the base.

Safety Rules for Routers

HIGH SPEED ROTARY TOOL MODELS

275, 285, 395, & 398.

ATTENTION: This attachment will convert

Dremel Rotary Tool to a Plunge Router for

freehand routing, edging, grooving, and

circular cuts. The router attachment comes

assembled ready for freehand or pilot bit

routing.

This Router Attachment is

not intended for use

under a router or saw table.

WARNING

Inserting the Router Bit

The router bits are held in the tool by a

collet system. The bit may be installed

before or after the rotary tool is installed

in the attachment.

1. Depress and hold the shaft lock button

while rotating the collet nut and shaft.

Continue to rotate the collet nut and

shaft until the lock engages and holds

the shaft (Fig. 4).

2. Use the wrench from your Dremel Rotary

Tool and turn the collet nut counter-

clockwise to loosen it.

3. Release the shaft lock button.

4. Insert the router bit into the collet as

deep as possible to ensure proper grip-

ping of the bit and to minimize run out.

Do not insert the bit so far that bit flutes

touch the collet or collet nut to avoid

chipping or cracking the bit.

NOTE: Never place the tool with bit

protruding through base on top of bench or

work surface. Lay the tool on its side or

retract the bit before setting on bench or

work surface. Protruding cutting bit may

cause tool to jump.

5. Re-engage the shaft lock button and

tighten the collet nut; first by hand, then

using the wrench until bit is held securely.

Adjusting Routing Depth

NOTE: When making deep cuts, especially

plunge cuts away from the edge of the work-

piece, it is recommended to make several

successive cuts progressively deeper using

the depth adjustment and depth scale rather

than making one single deep cut.

The depth limiter can be adjusted for two

depths.

1. Place your Dremel Rotary Tool and Router

assembly on the workpiece.

2. Turn the upper adjustment nut upward

and turn the lower adjustment nut down-

ward so depth stop is free to move (Fig. 5).

3. Loosen the locking hand grip (Fig. 6).

Slowly lower the tool until the router bit

just touches the workpiece.

4. Tighten the locking hand grip to lock the

tool in place.

5. Press and hold the release button so

depth stop touches the router base.

1st Routing Depth

6. Turn the depth stop upwards so that

measurement X equals the first desired

routing depth (Fig. 7).

NOTE: 1 turn equals .06" (1.5 mm)

7. Turn the upper adjustment nut down

snug against the router frame.

2nd Routing Depth

8. Turn the depth stop upwards so that

measurement X equals the second

desired routing depth. Make sure upper

adjustment nut turns with the depth stop,

so it rises away from router frame (Fig. 8).

9. Turn the lower adjustment nut up snug

against the router frame.

NOTE: The upper adjustment nut must

remain stationary when tightening the lower

adjustment nut.

10.Press the release button to select the 1st

or 2nd routing depth (Fig. 9).

NOTE: The adjustment of each routing

depth should be checked with a trial cut and

re-adjusted as necessary.

When routing is complete, loosen the hand

grip and return the router to the top position.

Feeding the Router

If the router is hard to control, heats up,

runs very slowly or leaves an imperfect cut,

consider these causes:

• Wrong direction of feed – hard to con-

trol.

• Feeding too fast – overloads motor.

• Dull bit – overloads motor.

• Cut too large for one pass – overloads

motor.

• Feeding too slow – leaves friction burns

on the workpiece.

Feed smoothly and steadily (do not force).

You will soon learn how the router sounds

and feels when it is working best.

Rate Of Feed

When routing or doing related work in wood

and plastics, the best finishes will result if

the depth of cut and feed rate are regulated

to keep the motor operating at high speed.

Feed the router at a moderate rate. Soft

materials require a faster feed rate than hard

materials.

The router may stall if improperly used or

overloaded. Reduce the feed rate to prevent

possible damage to the tool. Always be sure

the collet nut is tightened securely before

use. Always use router bits with the shortest

cutting length necessary to produce the

desired cut. This will minimize router bit run-

out and chatter.

Edge Forming

When edge forming, always use piloted or

bearing bits. The lower portion of a pilot

tipped bit is a shaft with no cutting edges.

Bearing guide bits have a ball bearing to

pilot the bit.

The pilot slides along the edge of the work

as the rotating blades make the cut, making

decorative edges. The edge on which the

pilot slides should be perfectly smooth since

any irregularities are transferred to the

shaped surface.

When routing a workpiece that requires edge

forming on the endgrain, always rout the

endgrain edge before routing the edges that

follow the grain. This minimizes the possibil-

ity of damage from any blowout at the end of

the endgrain.

Router Feed Direction

The router spindle turns in a clockwise

direction when viewed from above. For best

control and quality of cut, feed the tool into

the workpiece in the direction that the bit will

tend to pull itself into the wood. Incorrect

feed direction will cause the bit to try and

climb over the wood.

Feed the tool in direction shown here. If cut-

ting around the edge of a square piece,

move the tool in a counterclockwise direc-

tion. If routing the inside surface as shown,

move in a clockwise direction (Fig. 10).

NOTE: Feed direction is extremely important

when using a pilot bit freehand on the edge

of a workpiece.

Assembling the Edge Guide

For edge guide use, assemble guide rods into

tool holder assembly and secure using (2)

#10-24 square nuts and (2) guide rod knobs

(Fig. 11).

Square nut will slide in slots above the guide

rods. Guide rod knobs are assembled from

the top through holes down through nuts, and

against the rods. Fasten edge guide to guide

rods using edge guide knobs, and hex head

nuts.

Locate hex head nuts underneath edge guide

and fasten with edge guide knob on top

surface of edge guide. Slide edge guide

assembly on guide rods as shown. Set edge

guide at desired distance from cutter and

tighten edge guide knobs. (See Fig. 11 )

Edge guide is used for shaping edges, cut-

ting rabbets, dadoes, mortise, tongues,

grooves, slots, and chamfers. Remember to

feed so the cutter tends to pull the edge

guide against the wood. A consistent feed

rate gives a smooth cut.

In general, several shallow cuts should be

used when a deep groove is desired.

Maximum depth of cut will vary depending

on material used. Do not over feed to an

amount that the motor is noticeably slowed.

Templates

Using template patterns lets you duplicate

designs or letters uniformly time after time.

This technique requires the use of a guide

bushing.

GUIDE BUSHINGS

The guide bushing shown in (Fig. 14), is

essentially a plate with a collar which is insert-

ed into the hole in base as shown, and

secured by threading a bushing plug on top of

the guide bushing. The guide bushing rides

along the edge of the template while the

router bit, protruding below, cuts into the

work.

ATTENTION: Be sure the thickness of the

template is the same or larger than the length

of bushing protruding below the base.

Do not use a bit that may touch the inside of

the collar. Select a bit that is at least 1/16"

less in diameter.

In addition, special templates are easily pre-

pared for cutting repeated patterns, special

designs, inlays, and other applications. A

template pattern may be made of plywood,

hardboard, metal or even plastic, and the

design can be cut with a router, jigsaw, or

other suitable cutting tool.

Remember that the pattern will have to be

made to compensate for the distance

between the router bit and the guide bushing

(the “offset”), as the final workpiece will

differ in size from the template pattern by

that amount, due to the bit position (Fig. 15).

FREEHAND ROUTING

Many effects are gained by using the router

freehand with a small diameter bit. Usually the

craftsman pencils the outline or script he

desires onto the work and uses the pencil line

as a guide.
